Posted by CC on April 20th, 2009 11:27 am
The Iowa Architectural Foundation is soliciting nominations for its 2009 Community Design Excellence Awards.
This program, established in 2000, recognizes governmental organizations and/or subdivisions, not-for-profit organizations, and/or local citizens or groups for significant achievements in the promotion of new quality architecture, preservation of existing quality architecture, or community design.
The awards consider a project’s design but the nominated project must demonstrate a positive impact upon the quality of life of a city or neighborhood.
Past winners have included individuals or organizations that have restored historic buildings, rehabilitated older buildings for new uses, and improved public spaces. One winner was recognized for demolishing an abandoned lumber yard and building a new community clinic. A community in southeast Iowa was recognized for converting a former school into the public library. A list of past recipients can be viewed on the Foundation website.
Eligible organizations must download the nomination form from the Foundation’s website (www.iowaarchfoundation.org) and return the completed form with photographs (in JPEG format) and any additional supporting materials NO LATER THAN JUNE 26, 2009 to the following address:
